the body'and bent oition ofthe hanger,A and through the hu member, the ends of said pin bein held in position by being riveted to theianger member.

To all -iuzom it may concern.:

Be it known `that I, MiL'iox E. HUNT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waterville, inthe county of Keiinebec and 60 j adj ustinfr were granted Au State of Maine, haveinveiitcd certain new and useful ,Im u'ovements in Rolling-Door Hangers; and do declare the following to be a full, clear, aml exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has relation to new and useful improvements in rolling door hangers, and is especially designed as an improvement over the device for which Letters Patent ust c, 1907,N0. 862,561.

The piincipal ocbject of the invention is to provide improved means for adjusting the door longitudinally with relation to the hanger so as to cause the lower edge thereof to be brought to the proper position, where it will neither bind, by reason of being too long, nor present a crack or space at the bottom, by reason of being too short; thus obviating the necessity of cutting ofil the door.

Another object' is to i'ovide means for the door latera ly so as to throw it away ii'om or toward the building without changing its support o r ali'ecting its operation thereon.

In the drawings,-Figure 1 is a front elevation of niv improved hanger applied to the door 3 Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereolwitli the track or support shown in section; Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view, taken on the lane indicated by the dotted lines 55 of *ig 1.

Referring to the drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only, and, therefore, are not drawn to any particular scale, 1 indicates a portion of the sliding or rolling door, and 2 a suitable support or track designed to be secured in any suitable manner to the building above the door.

The hanger frame, as a whole, is designated 3, and consists of a plate bent inwardly at its upper end, as at 4, to provide a casing or housing for the Aroliei. The roller for the hanger is mounted in the u per end of this plate between the body and lient end thereof upon a shaft in the form of a bolt 5, extending through the body and bent end of the hanger and screwing `through the hub of the roller, with the bolt headv against the outer A particular feature of the inventionresides in the arrangement for adjusting the hanger longitudinally oi' vertically relatively to the door. This adjustment 1s attained' by providing the body of the hanger with a central opening 12', of suit-ableA dimensions, near its lower edge or end, in which opening is arranged a corresponding turning p ate or member 13, cccenti'ically pivoted in position by a pivot member in the forni of a bolt 14, passing through the door and turning plate, the bolt being such as to project beyond the turning plate to receive a clamping nut 14', adapted to be screwed in clamping engagement with the turning plate to hold it against movement after the hanger has been properly adjusted. This turning plate is also provided with two oppositely dis `iosed apertures or peiiorations 142, at suitable points, the purpose of which will be disclosed. of arc-sha ed adjusting slots 15 are formed in the bot y of the hanger near and around the turning plate. T heso slots are preferably four in number, two being arranged in vertical alinement near one side edge of the hanger and two in vertical alinement near the opposite side edge of the same. 16 are arrang'id to extend through the upper portion of the door and said adjusting slots, and are such in length as to project beyond the outer face of the hanger to receive clamping nuts 17 adapted to be screwed in clam ing engagement with the hanger to maintain it in fined position relative to the door after it has been properly adjusted.

In practice, assuming it is vdesirous to lower the door, the nuts 14 and 17, respectively, are unsciewed sufficiently to disengage them from the turning plate and hanger member, respectively, when the turning plate is swung to the right by a spanner wrench being engaged in its apertures or perforations 142, which o eration causes the hanger to move vertical y and laterally with respect to the door. After the hanger inemberhas been properly adjusted, the nuts 14 and 17 are again screwed in clamping cngagement with the turning plate and hanger member, respectively, to maintain them in A plurality Bolts face ofthe body. j position.
